You Can Count On Me

To have good friends is to hold them dear,
They stay forever close to your heart
And they live within you, guiding you.
Everyone's friendships are unique
Because we are all unique...

When we're not together I wish we were
For if I'm not with you I'm no where
I can't wait to see you again
Only a few seconds after I leave.
I miss you terribly and constantly
I wonder what you're doing
What we'd be doing if I was there...

What games we'd play,
What things we'd say.
I miss you my friend,
I miss you no end.
And when we're not together,
Time goes on forever.
You're the friend I treasure,
Lets be separated never.
And I know it's late,
But this couldn't wait.
Just know I tried,
And to you I never lied.
We'll always be best friends,
We'll always make amends.
Because you're a part of me,
And through your eyes I see.
I can touch through your hand,
On your legs I stand.
Through your mind I think,
Through your smell I stink.
And through good and bad,
When you're happy or sad.
You can stand on my back,
While I pick up the slack.
Cause we'll be friends forever
And we'll always be together.
